R20 Nested Player Owned Towns

Good afternoon
Just wanted to drop a quick post off for you amazing backers regarding your player owned towns, and their locations. There were many locations added this release, and I am very grateful to your diligence in finding bugs, or reporting something that doesn't quite make sense (usually ends up tied to a bug..hehe)

PaxLair has multiple nested PlayerOwnedTowns (POTs) this release. Currently, I just stubbed in the functionality for the exit volumes along the perimeter of PaxLair to take you to the different nested POT locations, instead of exiting to Novia. The entrance to Dragons Watch, however, is located near the bridge.
Exiting the nested locations will return you to Novia.

PaxLair -->
-- Tenakill
-- Lockbrier
-- Dragons Watch
-- Serenity Isle
-- Sea Nymph Grotto

There are also a few dynamic POTs that have nested locations. For these, I currently just stubbed in for the northern exit to take you to it's nested location. The following are the currently implemented locations:

Illusive Passage --> Illusive Cavern
Blackbear Cove --> Blackbear Cove (Sea Cave)
Drachenfels --> Drachenenfelser Unterwelt
Kahli --> The Void

I hope this post was helpful & informative!
I also just fixed a few exit locations in Novia & Hidden Vale that were found by the community.
You guys are totally awesome

 

Thank you for the heads up, especially on a Sunday after a release! Your the guys that are awesome and the reason so many are here.


Update: Went in and tried every exit in PaxLair, they all take you back to Novia. Perhaps I'm not following?

 

Thank you Finn for the heads up. Also probably noted by others is another bug. So I was in our town Wizards Rest behind Owlshead trying to leave to show someone where the town was and I was taken to my last location before the town of specral mines which is on novia not hidden vale. It did take me quite some time to get back to hidden vale and that person was gone by then since we had a language barrier anyway and I could not explain in his language why I abandoned him. So no worries, I know the bugs will get squashed.

 

Great news..but we cannot find the PaxLair transition points.

 

It works now for:
Drachenfels -> Drachenfelser Unterwelt
Patch 298

 

Ack, I didn't know there was a patch.

 

Is there a way to get to my POT (Rat's Nest) or Verdantis Shardfall?

 

Working on a fix now

 

Working on a fix

 

D'oh! ..I'm a goober
I set up all of the nested locations in the old PaxLair, as I forgot we had switched it to a dynamic landscape.
Fixed for the next round. Thanks for the heads up! Serenity Isle & Sea Nymph Grotto are now accessible in PaxLair by swimming a out into the ocean.
-Dragons Watch & Stonegate Hollow are currently accessible via sewer openings near the bridge.
- Added Staplendun to the NW swamp in Novia.
- Added boats between Novia & Hidden Vale.
- Rat's Nest & Hwaesong now inhabit 2 of the islands around the Verdantis Shardfall.
..also, now leaving an POT island via boat will take you to a nearby location on the mainland.

I also build a cool little sea cave entrance within Blackbear Cove (Surface) --> Blackbear Cove (Sea Cave)
..hold your breath!

*Currently, all underground POTs are stubbed in as dynamic forest locations.

 

..in case you would like to read my check-in notes:
- POT locations set for Hometown, Staplendun, Badger Hollow, Wolves Den.
-Fixed owner name of Caer Dracwych.
-Nested PaxLair POTs.
-Set up boats between Verdantis Shardfall, Novia & HiddenVale.
-Added a sea cave entrance in Blackbear Cove (Surface) for Bleackbear Cove (Sea Cave)

 

Yay, thankyou!

 

Finn just to clarify, only Dragons Watch is nested in PaxLair thru sewer opening, StoneGate Hollow I think is Port Phoenix.

 

They went off of the end of June when my town name was still Sawtooth hollow I think. I cant keep up as my town name has changed since then again because of conflicting town names. Stonegate is a bmc town I believe.

 

A HUGE Thanks to you @Finn Staber for your monumental undertaking to put so many PoTs into the game, and sort through the myriad of connections, locations, and types. This gives a whole bunch of us experience with the lot placements, building communities, envisioning what our towns will be like in Episode One, and much more.

I know plenty of people look forward to additional templates to choose from too. For right now, the Forest01 placeholder seems to be robust enough to help give people some experiences as owners. I look forward to seeing what owners and their residents do with the templates to make them "unique". This grand roll-out is great!

Oh, I sold a lot of fish to avatars on the roads outside PaxLair because all exits led to PaxLair for a while ... thanks for that! "Fish Steaks! Only 2 gold!"

 

Thank you!

 

I personally think the Island01 template gives owners a better experience at town ownership. Then again I am biased on the Island template.

I think you and I are basically saying the same thing.

 

Aye, Stonegate Hollow* is part of the Port Phoenix cluster, and Port Phoenix itself is still the same map as it was in R19. We haven't changed to dynamic for this cycle.

*Stonegate Hollow will be renamed. See Ravicus' POT form for the current nom de plume.

 

with 299 i now see the sewer grates in PaxLair but cannot interact with them to get to Dragons Watch. Swimming out to sea worked and took me to the grotto, but exiting took me all the way over to Vanguard. Exit north is going to Lockbrier instead of Tenakill (am fine with this). Exit south leads to Tenakill woohoo!
